Chapter 69 - Shiro Akira’s Highlight Moment — Thunder Breathing: Ninja Swordsmanship, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash, Sixfold

At that moment, Shiro Akira directly connected to the two electricity-storage bracelets and rapidly absorbed the power inside them. Then he raised his hand and pointed toward the sky. A lightning pillar as thick as an arm shot upward and instantly sank into the dark clouds above.

"Rumble!!"

In an instant, the sky within several thousand meters seemed to undergo a violent chemical reaction and changed drastically.

Thunder rolled. In the blink of an eye, the clouds turned pitch-black, and even the cloud layers farther away continuously gathered toward this place, causing the nearby sky to grow increasingly gloomy.

A dozen seconds later, just as the Sand Ninja rushed to within ten meters of him—

"Riiip!!!"

The next moment, a supermassive pillar of lightning more than ten meters in diameter suddenly descended from the sky. Under the terrified gazes of those Sand Ninja, it crashed down from above their heads.

In an instant, aside from Kurosha, all nineteen Sand Ninja were engulfed.

"Damn it!"

Amid a wave of miserable screams, Kurosha sensed the terrifying energy fluctuation behind him. He abruptly stopped his charge and turned his head to look back.

What entered his vision was a supermassive lightning pillar that had already begun to dissipate.

When the lightning swept away and dispersed, the scene inside was revealed.

At this moment, all the trees within the lightning pillar's range had been turned into charcoal, and the ten Sand Chunin were the same, directly losing their lives on the spot.

As for the eight Jonin and one elite Jonin, four of them had been unlucky and were not good at defense, so they followed in the footsteps of those Chunin.

The remaining five were merely heavily injured.

Among them, the elite Jonin-level puppeteer had suffered the lightest injuries, merely losing three puppets.

"Damn it!!"

At this moment, these survivors all wore expressions of terror after narrowly escaping death. Then they looked toward Shiro Akira, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Damn it, where had this monster come from?

With just one move, he had actually killed fourteen of their teammates, including four Jonin.

All of this had happened in an instant.

When Kurosha saw this scene, his eyes also nearly split apart. His heart was filled with shock and fury. "Kill him! We must kill that brat!"

This was definitely a genius beyond normal limits.

He also reacted. The abnormal weather earlier, along with the lightning he had faintly seen that brat shoot into the sky from afar…

Clearly, this brat's technique had borrowed the power of the weather.

He had been careless before and had failed to take it seriously.

He should already be exhausted by now, right?

After all, a technique like this was clearly at least an S-rank large-scale ninjutsu. It was absolutely not simple.

In the instant Kurosha's thoughts spun rapidly, the surviving Jonin saw Shiro Akira behind him grin after finishing the lightning attack. Golden-blue lightning surfaced around his body.

One hand gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist as he lowered himself into a lunge.

He opened his mouth, inhaling a large amount of air, which gathered into white mist around his lips.

"Careful! Squadron Leader Kurosha!!"

"Watch behind you!"

"Dodge!"

Several people who saw this scene immediately widened their eyes and roared at Kurosha in terror.

Kurosha snapped back to his senses. First, he froze, then sensed the killing intent behind him and abruptly realized the danger. Without hesitation, his hands formed seals at high speed. He turned around and spat out:

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!"

In an instant, a huge tornado vortex blasted from his mouth toward the space behind him.

"Thunder Breathing: Ninja Swordsmanship, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash, Sixfold!"

"Bang!"

The bucket-thick tree trunk beneath Shiro Akira's feet exploded apart.

Kurosha only saw a streak of golden-blue lightning suddenly appear in his field of vision and rapidly expand.

Then the tornado he had released was directly pierced through, cut into two, and dispersed.

At the same time, he felt a chill flash across his neck.

At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi and the others had just arrived. What entered their eyes was Shiro Akira drawing his blade at a speed even the Byakugan could hardly capture, tracing a sixfold zigzagging streak of lightning through the air.

Then Shiro Akira's figure reformed behind the charred circular area.

He slowly sheathed his long blade, then turned around unhurriedly.

"Pfft!!"

The next moment, six columns of blood surged upward, carrying six severed heads into the air. They shot more than two meters high before falling back down.

Kurosha and the others widened their eyes. "How… is this possible?"

Leaving behind only that lingering thought, they ultimately died with their eyes open.

At this point, the twenty-man elite Sand Ninja team had been wiped out by Shiro Akira alone in just a few short minutes.

"Phew!"

Only then did Shiro Akira let out a long breath. He moved his slightly sore hands and feet, then revealed a set of clean, white teeth toward the frozen Hyuga Hizashi and the others as he smiled. "Captain!"

That blade strike just now had combined Thunder Breathing, the Lightning-attribute ninja swordsmanship he had comprehended over the past year, Lightning Mode, the Six Powers, the Body Flicker Technique, and even the enhancement of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

On top of that, among those six Jonin, four were heavily injured, one had lost most of his puppets, and the last one had been somewhat careless, only making a rushed counterattack. That was why it had achieved such a shocking result.

If he had to do it again, Shiro Akira was confident he could kill those six alone, but whether he could instantly kill all six with one slash like this was uncertain.

However, the burden on his body was not small.

Only his physique could support it. If it were anyone else, even Sakumo—

Only then did Hyuga Hizashi and the others abruptly snap back to their senses. Looking at Shiro Akira's brilliant smile, then looking at the dozen or so lumps of charcoal on the ground and the six headless corpses before them, they all sucked in a cold breath.

"Hiss!"

The nearby temperature seemed to drop slightly.

"Did you really do all this?"

After quite a while, Hyuga Hizashi forcibly steadied himself, still looking at Shiro Akira in disbelief as he asked.

"Who else? Captain, didn't you all see it with your own eyes? You're not planning to embezzle my battle merits, are you?"

Shiro Akira spread his hands and teased jokingly.

Hyuga Hizashi's face immediately darkened as he scolded with a laugh, "You brat, you still have the nerve to bring up battle merits? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! Don't forget, you disobeyed orders earlier! Do you know how worried we were about you? You were too impulsive!"

As he spoke, Hyuga Hizashi and the others checked the battlefield once, confirming that all of them were completely dead before finally relaxing.

Hyuga Hizashi ordered the others to clean up the battlefield. Then he arrived in front of Shiro Akira, reached out, and heavily slapped one side of Shiro Akira's shoulder. Gritting his teeth, he said, "You brat, you're really something! You did beautifully. But if you dare do this again next time, just see how I deal with you."

Did he know what it felt like to be on edge?

Of course, what Hyuga Hizashi felt more right now was that his hand was numb and painful.

He regretted slapping him so hard.

At the same time, he was inwardly shocked. What was with this kid's body? It was practically as sturdy as steel.

Besides, hadn't this kid grown a little too fast?

He had heard that Shiro Akira was only a little over seven years old, right?

Yet he was already 1.4 meters tall.

Shiro Akira scratched the back of his head and awkwardly defended himself. "Wasn't I just seeing that we were outnumbered and worried about the enemy?"

"Besides, I was confident in my own strength and knew what I was doing. That's why I dared to act."

"Otherwise, would I really go looking for death?"

"And isn't the result pretty good now? Aside from the scout team from earlier, none of our people died or were even injured."

This was a perfect ending.

He felt that Hyuga Hizashi should be thanking him.

"Fine, fine, we know you're strong, alright?"

Hyuga Hizashi suddenly reached out and messed up Shiro Akira's hair several times to vent his frustration. "You never mentioned your strength to me before!"

"You hid it very well! Before we left, Lord Hokage even specifically instructed me to do my best to ensure your and Kakashi's safety."

"Now it seems that no matter who is in danger, you're the least likely one to be in danger!"

"With your strength, there aren't many people in the entire ninja world who can threaten you anymore!"

As long as Shiro Akira did not court death and remained careful, it would basically be very difficult for him to die.

The ability to single-handedly fight and annihilate a team containing two elite Jonin, eight Jonin, and ten Chunin was firmly Kage-level combat power, alright?

How old was this kid?

Even Hyuga Hizashi felt jealous watching him.

The difference between people's talent really couldn't be compared.
